@miyotehew@turtleisland.social FWIW, I was surprised to learn how BIG these birds are! (BIG!)
“Adults are 40 to 49 cm (16 to 19 in) long, span 66 to 75 cm (26 to 30 in) across the wings, and weigh 225 to 400 g (7.9 to 14.1 oz)”

@iDGS@mas.to yes, I was lucky to see a giant one. Years ago, never forgot..seemed like the bird was almost two feet tall standing.
